US Supreme Court Again Decline a Health Care Law Challenge

Republicans stated their effort to rein in the Affordable Care Act would be greater challenging following the Supreme Court’s rejection of the latest challenge to the 2010 healthcare law, as Democrats sought to amplify it further.


The Supreme Court on Thursday rejected a challenge to the law from Texas and GOP-led states, which had argued that a choice by Congress to reduce to $0 the penalty for not having insurance meant the law was invalid. The justices discovered that the plaintiffs lacked standing to convey the case due to the fact they experienced no injury from the $0 penalty.


Another case in Texas, filed by conservative groups, seeks to weaken ACA requirements mandating that insurance cover certain preventive health services. The judge in the case had additionally ruled earlier on the penalty lawsuit and sided with the plaintiffs.


A decision favoring the plaintiffs could stop free Covid-19 vaccines, leases of breast-feeding equipment and contraception, stated Nicholas Bagley, a law professor at the University of Michigan.


The case, and others like it, should threaten parts of the Obama-era health law and efforts by Democrats to develop it further. Conservative groups say they plan to proceed attempting to erode the law with other lawsuits.
